One hundred and fifty animal-human hybrid embryos have been produced by mad scientists in the UK - with full government approval - under the 2008 Human Fertilization Embryology Act.

The UK's Daily Mail newspaper is reporting that a committee of scientists recently blew the whistle on the operation and expressed alarm over the possibility of the experiments going "too far" and resulting in a real Planet of the Apes scenario, where animals escape from the lab and begin reproducing in the wild.

Sound like science fiction? It's actually just an extension of science fact: human-animal hybrids have been produced by these UK scientists for the last three years. Among the monstrosities they created were animal eggs fertilized with human sperm, and cybrids - animal cells that are injected with human cell nuclei.

They also created chimeras, a mixture of human cells and animal cells, much like what happened in the sci-fi Planet of the Apes depiction of science gone wrong.

It has not yet been revealed which animals were used in the chimera and cybrids, but it's almost certain that they were mammals. Furthermore, the closer the genetic code of the animals to humans, the more likely the embryos would be viable, so it seems likely that these mad scientists would have been using eggs from monkeys or apes combined with humans.

Planet of the Apes suddenly doesn't seem so far-fetched, does it?

None of these embryos were allowed to grow into fetuses, by the way. Current UK law requires them to be destroyed after 14 days. But that's only the law. Who knows what kind of mad science is being conducted in the basement of corporate laboratories, away from the view of UK regulators and well outside the bounds of the law.

For all we know, there could be a lab of half-apes living in laboratory cages right now, being studied in the name of "science" while plotting their own escape.

Numerous animals around the world, by the way, have recently gained awareness and actively escaped their captors.

Creating yet more monstrosities in the name of science

Three laboratories in the UK were granted government licenses to play God with these human-animal embryos:

King’s College London

Newcastle University

Warwick University

But what was the point of all this monkeying around with cross-species embryos?

The scientists claim it was to developing embrionic stem cells that would be used to "treat incurable diseases." Yeah, right. What they really mean is that they would raise a secret lab full of half-human apes imprisoned in cages, then HARVEST their cells and sell them off to pharmaceutical companies which turn around and offer them to patients at a hundred thousand dollars per treatment.

As usual, it's just another way to exploit living organisms (and put animals through medical hell) in order to make a buck.

Many people don't know it, but even today, entire rooms full of primates in cages are used to grow viral material that's harvested from their organs and blended with toxic chemicals to make vaccines.

But now the mad scientists are playing around with half human embryos that could theoretically be used to grow ape men which are half ape and half human.

The history of medical science is rife with ethical abuses and horrifying medical experiments

That the UK "scientific" community is dabbling in such dark arts is, of course, shocking to many people.

Although you might expect such activities to be taking place in nations like North Korea or China, where the black market harvesting of human organs is an everyday event, few people expect UK scientists to engage in such "Island of Dr. Moreau" types of scientific treachery. But that's only because those people don't know what UK scientists are really capable of (or U.S. scientists, for that matter).

Throughout the scientific community, ethical boundaries have been obliterated in the quest for profits. As long as there's money on the table, it seems, no violation of nature, God or just plain common sense will stand in the way of a group of (government-sanctioned!) mad scientists trying to feed their maniacal egos.

As another striking example, Dr. Jonas Salk, the famous developer of the polio vaccine, was actually a medical criminal who conducted illegal medical experiments on mental patients without their consent.

See partial history of "scientific" medical experiments on human beings that shows the shocking depths of this horrifying branch of so-called "science." See the list yourself.

What's clear is that medical "science" respects no ethical boundaries and routinely tries to play God with genes, seeds and medicines in order to make more money - all while putting the entire planet at risk from a runaway organism that escapes from the labs.

What if they manage to grow a race of half human / half ape creatures with an IQ of 180 who outsmart the scientists, escape their confines and give rise to a new species that enslaves the human race by injecting them with mind-altering drugs?

150 Human Animal Hybrids Grown in UK Labs

- Embryos Have Been Produced Secretively for The Past Three Years -

from DailyMail Website

Scientists have created more than 150 human-animal hybrid embryos in British laboratories. The hybrids have been produced secretively over the past three years by researchers looking into possible cures for a wide range of diseases.

The revelation comes just a day after a committee of scientists warned of a nightmare ‘Planet of the Apes’ scenario in which work on human-animal creations goes too far.

for the last three years (Posed by models)

Last night a campaigner against the excesses of medical research said he was disgusted that scientists were ‘dabbling in the grotesque’.

Figures seen by the Daily Mail show that 155 ‘admixed’ embryos, containing both human and animal genetic material, have been created since the introduction of the 2008 Human Fertilization Embryology Act.

This legalized the creation of a variety of hybrids, including,

an animal egg fertilized by a human sperm

‘cybrids’, in which a human nucleus is implanted into an animal cell

‘chimeras’, in which human cells are mixed with animal embryos

Scientists say the techniques can be used to develop embryonic stem cells which can be used to treat a range of incurable illnesses.

Three labs in the UK - at King’s College London, Newcastle University and Warwick University - were granted licenses to carry out the research after the Act came into force.

All have now stopped creating hybrid embryos due to a lack of funding, but scientists believe that there will be more such work in the future.

The figure was revealed to crossbench peer Lord Alton following a Parliamentary question.

Last night he said:

‘I argued in Parliament against the creation of human- animal hybrids as a matter of principle. None of the scientists who appeared before us could give us any justification in terms of treatment.

‘Ethically it can never be justifiable - it discredits us as a country. It is dabbling in the grotesque.

‘At every stage the justification from scientists has been: if only you allow us to do this, we will find cures for every illness known to mankind. This is emotional blackmail.

‘Of the 80 treatments and cures which have come about from stem cells, all have come from adult stem cells - not embryonic ones.

‘On moral and ethical grounds this fails; and on scientific and medical ones too.’

Josephine Quintavalle, of pro-life group Comment on Reproductive Ethics, said:

‘I am aghast that this is going on and we didn’t know anything about it.

‘Why have they kept this a secret? If they are proud of what they are doing, why do we need to ask Parliamentary questions for this to come to light?

‘The problem with many scientists is that they want to do things because they want to experiment. That is not a good enough rationale.’

Newcastle University was another site

where human animal hybrid testing was being undertaken

Earlier this week, a group of leading scientists warned about ‘Planet of the Apes’ experiments.

They called for new rules to prevent lab animals being given human attributes, for example by injecting human stem cells into the brains of primates.

But the lead author of their report, Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, from the Medical Research Council’s National Institute for Medical Research, said the scientists were not concerned about human-animal hybrid embryos because by law these have to be destroyed within 14 days.

He said:

‘The reason for doing these experiments is to understand more about early human development and come up with ways of curing serious diseases, and as a scientist I feel there is a moral imperative to pursue this research.

‘As long as we have sufficient controls - as we do in this country - we should be proud of the research.’

However, he called for stricter controls on another type of embryo research, in which animal embryos are implanted with a small amount of human genetic material.

Human-animal hybrids are also created in other countries, many of which have little or no regulation.
